The cloak I wear is all you see Beneath the mask it’s only me Who no one cares to know Tears and worries hide within The face I wear won’t show their sin Rarely out I go At one alone, in quiet time When being me is not a crime These moments show compassion Thoughts caress as soothing waves The demons hide within their graves Faith becomes my passion Day by day, the same again The time for me, is who knows when? The cloak protects and guards me Forgotten when in solitude The pain of day does well elude Till time it sets me free I act each day, but not as me |

Oh, this one seems all to real to me. I think we've all worn that mask at one time or another. Some wear it still. One day they will all see that to achieve true peace of mind, you just have to be yourself. Wonderful write. All writing comes |

Smiling here...this is great! So many people don't understand the "inner" me...I could very much relate to this. Thank you. |
